Bridesmaid Presents?!.....

I'm thinking of their favourite perfume personalised and a bracelet and some other little bits.

I'm also getting them a personalised dressing gown for the morning (we're all going to have one, Etsy do lovely ones)

I have bought mine troll bead necklaces that i will put in a goody bag along with knickers from debenhams that have bridesmaid embellished on them, some wish tokens, flip flops and party feet, an engraved glass a lucky sixpence and whatever else i pick up along the way, they will also have a bouquet of flowers when the mums and helpers get them x

I've got my BM's a Thomas Sabo bracelet each. I picked a different charm for each bracelet, so they are more personal for them. They are my two besties, and since we've each had children, we made a pact to only buy for the little ones, so this is my way of being able to legitimately spoil them!

I will also be doing them each a little bag of small things to last them the night before, day of and the day after (anti-persp, make up remover, cleanser wipes etc)

We've got our bridesmaids a silver trinket box, engraved with their names and ours, the date and thank you. bought their dresses too, and im never very good about picking jewellery for other people! my MOH has a blue crystal bracelet instead though.

Finally settled upon it, but I'm getting mine handmade kimono dressing robes done in lovely fabrics from a woman in London. They're made to the BMs measurements and are less than £25 each.

I got mine a custome made jewellrey from a little shop that let me design it myself, may be worth seeing if you can find anythign like that around your way. x

Going back to bracelets, my personalised bracelets are really popular for bridesmaids presents. A silver charm of their initial is added to any of my bracelet designs so they could all have a different bracelets if you preferred but they would all would be personalised.

Full details are here

There have been a few brides on here that have made personalised bags for their bridesmaids and they have turned out brilliantly

Sorry to butt in but where did you get personalised perfume from?

I just bought their jewellery from a lovely lady in Leeds. Around £50 for 3 sets of earrings and bracelets...

Well I ordered little personalised bags from the funkydorey website as they are small enough to not be daftly large but still fit their gifts in. I have bought them each a necklace, earrings, and a compact mirror. I keep having ideas for other things, like BM tops for the morning when we get ready, perfume, chocolates etc, but at some point I have to tell myself no, I can't expand the budget any more lol

A personalised tote bag would be a lovely gift, then you can add little bits you know they will like if your budget allows

I made mine - could that be an option?

I was thinking of doing necklace and earring sets (that's what i have had bought for me both times i have been a BM) but i am struggling to find anything for under £50 per set in sterling silver (i want it to be something nice for them to keep!) so i might have to steal some of the ideas off here!!

Wow some really good ideas!! Thanks, lisaloulou I was actually looking at those yesterday! They are really nice, the kind of thing Im after! Dont want to be spending too much on the bracelets tho as Im already paying for 5 dresses & shoes & getting a few extras..

IshouldCoco where abouts in Leeds did u get urs from???

Thats a really good idea, im wanting to make as much as possible. Were did you get the bits to do them from??

Mainly eBay and searched for jewellery making tutorials on you tube.

Ive found this website where you can personalise necklaces etc and they are very reasonably priced :-)

I've alreasdy got my 3 adult bridesmaids a necklace and earring set for the day - do I need to get them something else to receive during speeches?

x

I had three adult bridesmaids and we got them pendants from Tiffany with their initial engraved on it.

No, that's what I'm doing for my three, also, what I received when I was bridesmaid twice. Think it's 'acceptable', nice to be in the financial position to do more, but certainally okay if not.

Thanks for the reassurance

My 3 sisters are my BMs (OHs sister is CBM)

My sisters have always admired my pandora bracelet so I've bought them a bracelet and as their birthdays all fall before the wedding I've bought them each a charm too.

Hi Beckixlou,

I have quite a few jewellery ideas on my site. Several versions of pearl bracelets, these can be personalised with a charm, earrings, necklaces and hair combs.

Feel free to have a look:

I have some compact mirrors by Swarovski with pink crystals that make lovely bridesmaid gifts. Email me for pics and prices ***********@*******.***
